clinton and obama and the younger bush. these four individuals made these contributions, it is no surprise that they were in the terrible situation that we find ourselves in now that has to be corrected. when we look at the george herbert walker bush administration, he had three important people at the defense department. it was based on just a tailored pattern of total deception and outright lies. they have put together a secret paper. instead of taking together a strategic opportunity the collapse of the soviet union in 1991, all of those things we didn't expect to see in a lifetime. i certainly didn't expect to see this a couple of us wrote about the problems and no one expected it to collapse like a house of cards. this opportunity you was totally not taken. it was not taken by the bush administration. there were things like the invasion of panama and one individual had been on the cia payroll for most of the time and that is a heck of a precedence to set the terms of the military. it speaks as a moderate, i think that

for example, bill clinton was not the first, and bill clinton was not the worse when it comes to misbehavior in high office. there's a long, long history of it. and eliot spitzer, arnold schwarzenegger, david petraeus, these guys had nothing on alexander hamilton. and what we find is if you read, for example, letters by martha washington during those winter camps, she was tough. she was like a soldier. she didn't complain about the weather, the harsh conditions, but she did complain about one thing. there was a tomcat one winter that was misbehaving with all the lady can cats, and it was noisy, noisy, noisy, and it kept her awake at night, so she nicknamed the tomcat alexander hamilton. [laughter] i also did a book a few years ago called life in the white house, and it was about the presidents at ease. what did they eat? what hobbies did they have of? what are their fears and hopes? or what are they like as fathers and husbands? how did their kids turn out? as another way of assessing presidential character providing us with another lens. for example, we're all still trying to figure dick ni

while acting out that particular instruct from their boss at work, quote, one intern wore a hillary clinton mask, the other wore a giant panda suit, which freedomworks had used at protests to denounce progresses as panderers. what they were acting out was not pandering but rather something else. okay. you can now uncover your children's eyes. but this is just the latest detail in the ongoing drama that is the slow unraveling over freedomworks. it is also the detail of how the former chairman of the group, dick armey, stormed into the group's office with a man with a gun when he was reportedly trying to seize control of the group away from the group's president, matt kibbe. there was also dick armey accusing matt kibbe of using freedomworks' staff to write his own book while all the proceeds of the book went to him. there was dick armey's letter resigning of chairman of freedomworks, demanding that the group stop using his name and likeness and his book, and demanding specifically that freedomworks deliver his official dick armey portrait to his goat farm in texas. and after all of that, the

these four things do not happen by clinton's. it was all part of this plot. by the way, when i use the word plot, i am generally not a conspiracy guy. but these people call themselves the cabal or the west point motto. a lot of them came out of the social sciences of west point among their own graduates. for example, all of this happens not by coincidence. general petraeus, when he was in leavenworth, he had a vast network of old colleagues throughout the pentagon bureaucracy. he deliberately cultivates this woman named meghan o'sullivan, who is the chief chief adviser on the security council. he cultivates her and they are talking on the phone practically every day. this is kind of outrageous. he's a three-star general in fort leavenworth. talking on the phone every day with a senior adviser to the president of the united states. general casey, who is a four-star general, actually commanding troops in iraq, he says we only need one more brigade. what do you think we might end much to the argument, she talked about why this really isn't enough. by the way, do
